CHICAGO - An 18-year-old East Hazel Crest man is accused of attempting to steal a vehicle Wednesday in southwest suburban Burr Ridge.
Rodney Marshall Jr. is charged with attempted vehicular hijacking, Burr Ridge police said.
Officers responded about 5:10 p.m. to the area of 500 Village Center Drive, where someone said two males tried to steal his vehicle, police said. The pair fled when they couldn’t get the car in gear.
